National investment loss lawyers KlaymanToskes continues investigating broker Justin Funakura (CRD# 5718194) of Farmers Financial Solutions, who has been suspended by FINRA and terminated by Farmers, following allegations that he participated in private securities transactions by soliciting investors to invest a total of $120,000 in promissory notes issued by a company claiming to operate crypto asset mining and investment programs.

According to FINRA BrokerCheck, broker Justin Funakura was previously registered with Farmers Financial Solutions, from 2009 to 2023 in Bakersfield, CA.  On October 17, 2023, Farmers Financial Solutions filed a Uniform Termination Notice of Securities Industry Registration (Form U5), disclosing that the firm terminated Funakura after he failed to notify the firm in writing of proposed private securities transactions (PSTs) prior to participating in the activity.

On February 25, 2025, Funakura was suspended by FINRA due to allegations that he participated in private securities transactions and failed to notify his firm in writing of proposed private securities transactions before participating in activity. The findings stated that one of the investors was a customer of the firm. Funakura’s involvement in the investments included introducing investors to the investment opportunity, providing information regarding the funds offered by the company to investors, and facilitating their transactions. Funakura reportedly received $4,000 as a commission for soliciting these investments.
